Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken wings (approx. 600g) wing tips removed and jointed to give 16 pieces in total
  • 2 tsp baking powder (see Notes)
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp pepper
  • 4 tsp Cajun seasoning (see Notes)
  • vegetable or sunflower oil spray

Instructions
 

  • Put the wings into a large bowl and toss well with the baking powder, salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning until all of the wings are coated.
  • Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket(s), or on racks, sprayed with oil (you may need to work in batches depending on the size of your drawer(s)).
  • Cook at 120C for 15 minutes then turn the wings over and cook at 200C for 15 minutes.
  • Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl or plate and enjoy!

Notes

  • Baking powder makes the chicken skin blister and air frying makes them lovely and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside!
  • Experiment with different spice flavours eg: fajita, jerk or taco seasoning!
  • This easy air fryer Cajun chicken wings recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
